Abstract (en)

Modular switchboard terminal block (10,20) for transmission of data signals (2), comprising a container (10a,20a) having, arranged inside it, a printed circuit (30) for processing the data signals, which has two opposite sides (30a,30b) in a transverse direction (Y-Y); Connectors (11;21) for electrical connection to controlled/detection devices, for input (I) and output (O) of electrical data signals received/transmitted from/to the devices, and/or for electrical connection to a power/ground supply source; and a rear end face provided with hook and spring means for mounting on a DIN switchboard rail (6); wherein the printed circuit (30) carries: - means (60) for electrical-optical conversion and/or vice versa; - at least one first receiver/transmitter pair (33) comprising a first transmitter device (33a) on one of the two opposite sides and a first receiver device (33b) on the other of the two sides, situated opposite each other, for propagating respective optical signals (2) in a first flow direction parallel to the transverse direction (Y-Y) ; - at least one second transmitter/receiver pair (34) comprising a second transmitter device (34a) on the side on which the first receiver (33b) is arranged and a second receiver device (34b) on the side on which the first transmitter (33a) is arranged, situated opposite each other in a second direction of propagation of optical signals parallel to the transverse direction (Y-Y), each side surface (10a,20a) of the container (10,20) having an associated reception window (13) and a transmission window (14) respectively arranged in alignment with the said receiver/transmitter devices (33a,33b;34a,34b) on the opposite sides (30a,30b) of the printed circuit (30).
